"...... She was having problems conceiving a child and had gone to several doctors and they told her she was not very fertile. she had also tried IVF but was not successful. she came to see Sophie and had acupuncture and massage and within a year she got pregnant naturally."

I have been getting acupuncture for various conditions for over 30 years now in many different countries. When I shifted back to Wimbledon and met Dr Sophie again I was so happy. She is the best Chinese doctor I have met.

This time I have been having treatment for menopause and after 6 weeks I feel much better. My symptoms have decreased and my strength is returning,

Great news!! My waters broke this morning and it am in early labour! So
I'm afraid I won't be able to make my appt tomorrow at 10.30am!

Please see below the little piece I wrote I hope it is what you were after!! Speak to you soon with an update!!

"I had read that accupunture could help with fertility treatment so I
contacted herbal world in wimbledon before starting my IVF cycle.
Sophie Lu put me at ease straight away after a thorough consultation and
explanation on how the accupunture would work and what areas she would
concentrate on etc. I found the accupunture and massage to be so
relaxing and a great way to concentrate on myself for an hour. It was
comforting to thinking I was doing everything possible to help the IVF
cycle work. My clinic commented on how high the quality of my eggs were
which I believe could have been helped by the accupuncture and
massage. I continued with the accupuncture and massage following embryo
transfer; in fact I had a session a couple of hours following it. The
two week wait can be a very stressful time but I honestly believe the
combination of accupuncture and massage helped keep me relaxed
throughout this time! I went on to have a completely perfect pregnancy
and am currently 40 weeks pregnant and am having accupuncture and
massage to help the onset of labour. It feels great to have come in a
full circle using accupuncture to become pregnant and accupuncture to
bring our miracle baby into the world! Thank you very much for all your
help and expertise! See you for our next child!"

Thank you for your treatment before the birth of our son, Athan. It was much appreciated.

I had irregular hormones causing issues due to cysts. Regular acupuncture sessions have helped regulate these and am now pregnant! The acupuncture and massage are both very relaxing and destressing and along with the medication support overall health. Thanks to the team here for helping me and always with a smile.

I have been having acupuncture since June 2006 as a complement to the conventional treatment I have been receiving for inflammation of my knees and neck, and I can safely say that the combination did a great deal to relieve the discomfort. Furthermore, it made a dramatic improvement on my gout condition. Also, the herbal medicine helped me with restoring my hair. Finally, I had excellent massage services from Yang, Sue and Sophie.
